not necessarily, Paajarvi (only 22 y.o.) has a good amount of potential. He's a skilled forward and has shown flashes of good play at times.. could use some consistency but only time will tell if they got robbed or not.

Hainsey had 0 goals, 13 assists, but a bounce here, a bounce there, they're the same player, but I stick with Q being more offensive regardless of last years lower point total, and I ragged on Q more than Jets fans ragged on Hainsey which was quite a bit.

Oh no the guy dove once, he shall forever be the worst hockey player ever!!!!! /sarcasm

I like Perron, good skill guy.

Any idea why the Blues were looking to deal Perron?

"When I was looking for a captain, I wanted a guy with the Red Wings crest tattooed on his chest," said former Detroit coach Jacques Demers, who named Yzerman captain in 1986. "Steve Yzerman was that guy."

“Told him if he wasn't ultra-competitive he couldn't come here. If he didn't bring it every day he couldn't come here, because he was going to hate it if he didn't, dislike the coach and dislike playing here.

Too many guys who played the same way.
They wanted to shake up a core that tends to tune out coaches.
They think his concussion made him damaged goods.
Those are what I heard. Personally I think he ate all the bear claws before Hitchcock could get any.

A while ago I thought about changing my to Oglethorpe (after I bought his jersey).

I have worn the jersey to a couple of beer fests and people are always yelling things at me like:

"Hey Olgie"

Or "Olgie watch out for Dr hook."

I saw/heard something about an internal cap, too. They've still got Stewart and Pietrangelo to re-sign.

I would love to see them have to get rid of Pietrangelo, and him end up a wing.

I really like his game!

Stewart would not be bad pick up either, other than the glut of forwards the Wings have.

For the record..love the name

I bought some Maple Lea Tea. It cost a fortune and didn't come with a Cup.

As I've said before, my favorite non-Wings Dman. Kid's got skill and he's responsible with it. He and Shattenkirk are a hell of a pair.

Haha at the Blues, first signing Roy for 5 mil and then they trade away Perron, part of their core. I am sure this will sit well with guys like Backes, Pietrangelo, Berglund, Oshie. MPS has all the potential in the world but at some point he has to use it and show it, if he can do that its a fair deal if not Armstrong got robbed badly here.

Hitchcock getting tuned out? Shocking the guy is too hard on his players and this stuff gets old fast especially with a younger core.

I am still hoping they can't re-sign Pietrangelo so he hits the open market thanks to that damn fool Holmgren Wings can't constructure a similar offer-sheet anymore

HitchBLEEP always gets tuned out by his players eventually.

I always find it amazing his impact in the short term any where he goes is unbelievable, then a few years go by and he is quite possibly the most ineffective coach in the league.

He gets fired.

He gets picked up by another team and it is rinse and repeat!

That tire went flat.... Hitch looked like he wanted a hotdog...

Perron and Pjarvvi or however you spell it both have a lot of talent/potential.
